we knew about the shale gas. we had an idea of how to go about it. but what happened in the united states in terms of breaking the code if you want and be able to produce the gap and now extending that technology is phenomenal. most oil companies, the large national oil companies natural with very few wells every year and tend to do a lot of experimentation and in the united states is very different. you have to three large entrepreneurial sector and service company. they don't think about how we are going to drill the well. they are very small and small capital is available. risk capital is available, and basically try and try and what we have seen in the gas world is these ingredients together, capital technology, experimentation, resources and we brought the code of the shale and that obligation globally which we see since. natural gas supply increase in gas prices went down and that surplus of capital technology material wells etc, and shifted to oil and that is how we see now this tremendous development in the onshore oil and the united states w

it is predominantly sandstone and shale. it was the shape of a dome. it was dome shaped. because san francisco was growing, because they needed the dike, that allowed miners to come in and open quarries. and they blasted. they had no concern about environmental issues, no concern about how they would leave the quality of the rock. as a result, they opened up fractures in the rocke. even today, we are paying for their mining negligence. we read it just last year where 455 vallejo, there was a rockslide that affected properties on broadway and montgomery. at rock slide occurred because of blasting that occurred back in the turn-of-the-century that left the rock week. 100 years later, the weak rock cannot stand there anymore and it fell. this slide is a long sansome street, where the city chose to protect sansome street and the cars, and they built this catchment wall. the sole purpose of this wall is to catch rocked that falls from private property. >> and every year or two, we get a call saying that rocks have fallen down the road and spilled over. this is the famous slide

we can produce commercially-available natural gas from shale. we have an 1100-year supply.er is you don't know what's happening 8,000 feet down and, therefore, your epa is going to protect you from the possibility that 378 years from now something bad might happen. [laughter] well, let me tell you, something bad's happening this morning with all the people who can't find a job because the u.s. government is killing the industry and keeping the cost of energy up. [applause] we need to develop effective, clean coal pilot projects that prove the concept that we can use coal because we have more energy in coal than saudi arabia has energy in oil, and it is utterly, totally foolish to say the united states is not going to aggressively develop clean coal. the department of energy promised in 2003 they would have a plant done by 2008. they then studied it to death. they now hope to have one done by 2016. at the current direction, the chinese will have built, patented and licensed new technologies worldwide faster than our bureaucracy in washington can figure out how to issue the p

oil shale. the u.s. geological survey said in the 16,000 square mile area of utah, wyoming and parts of colorado, they estimate at least two trillion barrels of oil shale, that's equal to what canada is enriching to themselves, were available and experimental programs for moving forward until a regulation stopped it. the estimate, a potential loss of 100,000 jobs at $1.9 trillion to the g.d.p. of this country was lost in that particular project. the last day -- the day after the last day of our lame duck session, secretary of interior, using questionable authorities, created a new or announced a new wildland policy. which once again stopped those management plans in their tracks. the result of that, let me simply give you one example. one company in two counties of my state, having 300 high paying jobs, who had been working for three years with leasing and environmental review process with the b.l.m., within hours of that wildlands announcement, special interest groups recommended the area they were work

we can now produce commercially available natural gas from shale. an 11 hundred year supply. and the answer is, "but you don't know what's happening 8,000 feet down. " and therefore your epa is going to protect you from the possibility that 378 years from now something bad will happen. well let me tell you something bad is happening this morning with all the people who can't find a job because the government is killing their industry keeping the cost of energy high.

-- oil shale to produce oil. we have enough means to be energy independent but the president will not move. we're not going to solve the problem with windmills and solar energy, we have to solve it with energy we have before us right now. it's in our national security and economic security we ought to do this. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from michigan rise? >> to address the house for one minute and revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mrs. miller: during the super bowl, chrysler aired an add about the chrysler 200 that touched the hearts of america with the enduring spirits of detroit, michigan. the resems of a city and region that made some mistake bus is also home to some of our nation's greatest innovators, our best work force, skilled craftsmen, the redemocrats of an energy -- industry that made some mistake bus is the back bone of american manufacturing. epitomized by the workers at chrysler's sterling plant that was slated to close. the workers f

shale gas is a short-term situation.has great environmental risk compared to a natural gas pipeline. it takes capital to keep punching holes or shale gas. with a pipeline, you make the investment and you operate it. there is room for both. companies can use the shale gas as a buffer or supply and pricing. i think there is room for both in terms of demand. >> what is your out like -- what is your outlook for the -- pipeline? can you keep it going? you have to have the oil from the federal land to get it back up to capacity. >> that is a huge issue. for those of us who have boilers in our home with hot water, if the flow of hot water slows down, the valve starts to leak. that oil in the pipeline helps keep that pipeline working in an environmentally friendly manner. it helps keep maintenance costs lower. projections are that oil production through the trans alaska pipeline will drop to 300,000. there is some point where it is no longer -- companies are no longer able to keep up with the maintenance costs. additional oil in

the fracturing that makes possible the huge increase of natural gas production from shale formation isnder attack. permits to mine coal are harder to get in america than in heart transplants. u.s. domestic oil production will fall 13% this year. that is part of obama's strategy. the obama administration is trying to achieve by regulation what it cannot pass through congress. [applause] in one sense, the obama energy policy is this -- increased the price of energy so americans will use less of it. are pursuing that policy to reduce pollution and to make extremely expensive on economic alternative fuels cost competitive. this is not an energy policy. this is an environmental policy. so as gas blows by $3 a gallon on its way to $4 a gallon and more, remember when steven chu said in a 2008 speech. "we have to figure out how to lose the price of gasoline to the levels in europe." gasoline in europe is $8 or $9 a gallon. secretary chu may think we need that, but i doubt it will get many votes in congress. this is catastrophic for america's economy. we cannot compete in a global marketplace b

s issuance of a permit to shell -- to shale oil. i thought the gentleman and his side of the aisle would take sincere joy in any decision, ruling against e.p.a. but that's not the case, apparently. i guess e.p.a. is ok as long as it doesn't use any federal funds and rules exactly the way that you want them to. and in fact, the e.p.a. did rule the way that the gentleman wants. it's just that we have an appeals board. that appeals board is there for good reason, has been for some time. i don't have to tell the gentleman, but i think the other members of this body should know that the environmental appeals board found that e.p.a.'s analysis of the affect on alaskan native communities of nitrogen oxide limited the agency to do the work. doesn't mean they can't drill. the analysis is incomplete. we should let that legal process work and stop interfering in long-standing regulatory and administrative processes. the amendment will be seen as an assault on the environment and an affront to the alaskans who engaged. i'm disappointed at the g

the technology hydraulic fracturing that makes possible a huge increase in natural gas production in shale formations is under attack. permits to mine coal are hard to get in america than a heart transplant. the wall street journal recently reported u.s. domestic oil production will fall 13% this year. and that is part of obama's strategy. the obama administration is trying to achieve by regulation what they cannot pass through congress. [applause] the obama energy policy is this in one sentence -- in crises the price of energy so american -- increase the price of energy so americans will lose -- use less of it. they are using the policy to reduce pollution and make extremely expensive uneconomic alternative fuels cost- effective. it is not an energy policy. this is an environmental policy. so is gas was by $3 a gallon on its way to $4 and more, remember what energy secretary steven chu, a member of the obama administration cabinet today, said in a 2000 speech -- somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in europe. gasoline in europe is $8 or $9 a gallo

discovered how to drill down into the ground and then turn that drill bit horizontal and go through shale rock to produce huge amounts of natural gas. natural gas burns about 40% cleaner than gasoline or diesel fuel. it produces -- it can produce energy, it even can be converted and can be used for vehicles. so it's all american. it's energy produced here in america. and we have to have americans to drill the wells, to move the natural gas, to process it and do all the things that goes into that. instead of importing oil from venezuela. this makes sense. this is not a theoretical vision for an energy program. the energy department has now projected that we have maybe 200 years of natural -- natural gas. twice what we projected just a few years ago because of new, improved way to drill. we should be doing more of that. it creates american jobs. it would provide a new energy source that hasn't been there before. it could create -- be used for electricity. natural gas prices are low. pretty spicingly low -- surprisingly low, actually compared to other sources of energy. we can use it in vehi

that is how much oil is there, and that does not include oil shales and other types of on conventional oil that could be developed. caller: since your first guest brought the koch brothers, i will bring up trumka. trumka goes to the white house two or three times a week. he talks to the white house, and he has it on tape. host: please go ahead with your question. i would totally disagree of your earlier point. we have all sides on this program seven days a week. i would disagree with your point that we are biased to one side or the other. go ahead with your question. caller: you are the worst of all. you are the most liberal. all of your e-mail and tweets were liberal this morning. third of all, if you did not question him about the hitler signs about scott walker. why did you not ask him how about that? host: do you have a question for john felmy? caller: you are a corrupt person on c-span because no republican should ever watch your show when you are on. guest: we try to work closely with unions, and i will not criticize mr. trumka. is a fellow penn state graduate. host: you are wear

we cannot produce commercially available natural gas from shale. we have an 1100 year supply.therefore your epa is going to protect you from the possibilities of 328 years from now, something bad might happen. let me tell you, something that is happening this morning with other people can't find a job because the government is killing the industry. [applause] we need to develop the site as clean coal pilot projects to prove the concept that we can use coal because we have more cool than saudi arabia has energy and soil and it is utterly, totally foolish to say the united states is not going to aggressively develop clean coal. the department of energy promised in 2003 they would have a plan to buy 2008. the event to need it to death and now hope to have won by 2016 that the current correction, the chinese will build, patented and licensed technologies worldwide faster than our bureaucracy in washington could daguerreotype to issue the permit to try. it is fundamentally wrong and we should cut through the red tape and we should maximize the ability of burn electricity industry a

we have more energy in this country collectively including the gas and oil, coal shale that can be convertedl. anyplace in the world there's no question about it but we are not moving in that direction, so we are still dependent on the middle east, and they have a life and death grip on us if anything goes awry so i would like you to answer the question why is it that it isn't more attention being paid by this administration and the state department to the security of the nation both economically and militarily because we are not moving toward energy independence. not only that, but if you talk to the average person who's seen free dollars and 50 cents for gasoline knowing it's going to go five or six if things get out of control they say if we have that ability why don't we do something about it? so where is the state department on this issue and why isn't state department and secretary clinton talking to the president about the long-term issue of what happens if things go in the wrong direction in that part of the world? make no mistake if you look at the book from 1776 to now, which i hop

now we've had a tremendous amount of development of natural gas in the shale formation and all across the country, an addition of 30% to the natural gas reserves of our country over the last four years. now if a city or state determines that the terrorism threat is so great they do not want an l.n.g. facility in the middle of their most densely populated area, it should not be the right of the federal energy regulatory commission to override the public safety decision made by the state and local police that it is too great of a danger. that is why the wu amendment is correct. we have a bonanza of natural gas domestically. if the state decides they can get it from their open people rather than overseas, it's not up to the ferc to make that decision if they're going toover ride the national security of that community in making that decision. i urge an aye vote on the wu amendment. mr. wu: i urge an aye vote on this amendment and yealed back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. frelinghuysen: i urge a no vote. this should not be considered within the l
